Saw an awful accident tonight on nhong plub road by the school, the chap was laying in the middle of the road but was moving . The lady seemed to have been hit the hardest and from what people said was in a very bad way, they were giving cpr for ages even after the ambulance arrived. Both are farang...

Re: 'Big C food court/plaza'

As you walk in there is a row of stalls in front of you at the back, she is about 3rd from the right.
Can't miss it as has a picture of the curry on the front of stall.

And it's well worth the visit.

Re: Which Mobile Phone?

It's no longer the case that mobile phones sold by network providers are locked at least not contract phones. Things changed as it was pointed out to airtime providers that you still paid a set monthly sum regardless of sim. My s6 edge + came from the 3 network and is also unlocked. If you do find y...

Re: Bringing a dog from Thailand

If taking your dog to the UK it is much easier than it used to be, you will have to make sure your dog is vaccinated and I think you have to have 2 clear blood tests . If you do all this and get the vetinary paperwork you can then ship your dog to the UK . If you have done all the requirements then ...

Re: Customs visit

I can only say what happened to myself in the past and may not apply to yourself. They do have a large book that lists commodity codes but they rarely seem to find what you may have shipped in the book, this is when they resort to the computer and come up blank. They will then charge you whatever th...

Re: Hua Hin Tuk Tuk minimum prices

I have to say some comments could not be further from the truth the 4 wheel converted pick up vans are let's say owned by one or two individuals that I will not comment on. I know many of the tuk tuk drivers as they often used to come for repairs or updates and I have never had any problem from them...

Re: Hua Hin Tuk Tuk minimum prices

As I said earlier I don't think a minimum charge of 150thb is over the top, sometimes these guys wait many hours for their next fare so it's not like they are making huge amounts of money. The other problem is that the transport office are flatly refusing to allow any further licences to be issued f...

Re: Oldest bar in hua hin

Think it was dicks office.
I think it was jonny walkers dad who bought and renamed it.

It was a bar before he bought it and had been on the market a while at a decent price.

Re: Oldest bar in hua hin

Yes
Soi hotpot is I suppose soi 80 now or always was.

As said the restaurant on the corner with petchasem was one of the hotpot chain .
I still refer to that soi as soi hotpot and oddly some of the thais still do.

Re: Hua Hin Tuk Tuk minimum prices

Can't really see the problem here, Just getting into a taxi back home will cost £3-5 that before the driver turns a wheel. They also provide a service nearly 24 hours a day and in fairness some customers are not in the best condition at 2 am in the morning. As another poster mentioned they often hav...

Re: Oldest bar in hua hin

I was really trying to think of bars that had not really changed and we're still current.
There are loads of bars in what we used to call soi hotpot but I doubt any of them are that old.
I would think it must be bernies if it's still going.

Re: oldest bar in hua hin

Can't say I remember ying in the earlier days but perhaps she bought the bar later. Tulip bar was the one I was trying to remember where u turn relocated, was a strange place with a garden theme. Bernies was around at that time so could be a contender for the oldest bar. Oakdale. I can't remember as...
